Course recommendations
At the time I was there the University was restructuring the cources, making it possible to choose in advance. The International Organizations cource was a pilot project back then, but was actually quite good. The Professor of the International Management cource was a sleeping pill.

Personal comments
Innsbruck is the capitol of Tirol and "Tirolerisch" can be somewhat more difficult than German. This, however, made it even more interesting to improve my German, to be able to understand and make myself understood in both traditional German-language speaking countries as well as the ones with types of German-dialect.
